Expression and characterization of functional domains of FK506-binding protein 35 from Plasmodium knowlesi

The FK506-binding protein of Plasmodium knowlesi (Pk-FKBP35) is considerably a viable antimalarial drug target, which belongs to the peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) protein family member. Structurally, this protein consists of an N-terminal FK506-binding domain (FKBD) and a C-terminal t...
